For it is Him we will face when our time has come

It seems like in the Great Switch of 2009, the last journal entry was lost that contained the idea for having the Beyond Blue Journal be a showcase for the talents of those who contribute to Group Beyond Blue.

One of the very neat things about this new layout is how easy it is to upload photos, so now we can showcase our jewelry makers, artists, painters, mandala makers, as well as writers and poets and prayer keepers. Some other suggestions have been to include inspirational quotes written by our members and maybe a few journal entries now and then with resources and references for mental health issues.

If you would like to enter a photo or submit a piece of writing, just email me (Melzoom) and let me know. We will never publish anything on the journal without the author/creator's permission.
